This is a translation of Sakura Oda's 10/29 blog post: http://ameblo.jp/morningmusume-10ki/entry-12089701682.html
Good evening, it's Oda Sakura!
Though I think there are lots of people who already know,
earlier on the 9th gen-san's blog, Sayashi Riho-san announced that she would be graduating from Morning Musume. '15 at the end of this year.
The end of this year means there are 2 months left.
It makes you think "It's so quick", doesn't it.
Honestly, the members in part are in turmoil as well.
However,
as I wrote in a blog the other day,
change can be scary but good!
With that thought, along with Sayashi-san's feelings,
I want to think properly about the future from now on.
Though I'm incredibly surprised,
with it being what Sayashi-san decided,
and thinking as a kouhai that "She's leaving it to me"
I want to do my best so that she can relax and
go ahead and graduate!!
She'll be watching over us once again.
Sayashi-san's presence really is so huge.
I'm anxious as well.
However,
I want her to believe in us
with what we can change or create within our group
to establish something new.
That's for us!
Please be sure to watch over Morning Musume. '15
from now on as well!!
